Hi Tom,
Thank you very much. The idea of graduation diagonally NEVER occured to me. I guess we can sometimes get caught up in the subject of an important work and forget the basics. Or, I am just senile ...haha
I have reworked the hand/sword as had been suggested elsewhere and it works better. I am a little behind on this painting because I am also working on a series of oil paintings called, "Creation of Woman" as well as oil and pencil portrait commissions.
Unfortunately since the "Creation" works are nudes I can not post them here. I had a 2 hour photo shoot with the model last Saturday. I had searched 2 yrs for the right model.
When I complete the underpainting, I will post another digital image of it. Since I have done it in oil, I will have to wait for the final strokes on the underpainting to dry completely before I begin to apply the semi-transparent and transparent glazes.
